In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Tray Kwon, a registered nurse and frontline healthcare worker at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, to talk about how corporate greed led to chronic under-staffing and other serious institutional weaknesses in the healthcare system long before the virus hit, how the steady decline in CDC standards for front-line healthcare workers is leading to nurses and doctors becoming compromised, and why to this day the refusal to test asymptomatic nurses and doctors—even if they've had contact with known carriers of the virus—continues to endanger the health of nurses, doctors, patients, and the general public.
